      Probably right, but if we don’t someone else will. Whether we like it or not, we need the jobs and revenue from fossil fuels at the moment.

      >We need really straightforward policies that distinguish ourselves from the federal Liberals

      Lewis really does get this better than the others, might be worth a tenner.

      McPherson strikes me as the candidate whose policies the Liberals will appreciate the most, they could have introduced most of them themselves and can safely ignore the lot.

      I have to say, in recent weeks, nearly every single time I’ve heard something solid from “an NDP leadership candidate” as the papers put it, it’s been from Avi. That’s the kind of leader the NDP needs, somebody whose convictions stem from principles, not polls.

    4. You can’t keep pushing anti–fossil fuel policies that hit Alberta hardest when your party gets zero elected support there. That kind of one-sided policymaking just breeds alienation, anger, and talk of separation.

    5. The NDP has been on a downward slide ever since the 2016 policy shift where they focused more on the environment and less on the working class. I think it was called the Leap Manifesto?

      Anyway, ever since then the NDP has been unappealing. Just look at the numbers. If I were to give the federal NDP advice it would be to refocus on issues around the working class and cost of living. People care about being able to make a good income and to be able to afford to live in Canadian cities. The Conservatives have been able to take a lot of former NDP voters (e.g. unions), but I think the NDP can win them back.

      Being a 2nd Green Party hasn’t served the NDP well.
